SVG texture overlay.
Flat vector art lacks the feel of a surface. Drop an SVG and get a PNG with paper, canvas or newsprint texture over it, palette kept. Nothing is uploaded.

4 steps, no account. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Drop an SVG
Drop an SVG or choose one; it is drawn at the size it declares, or at the size you pick, up to 1024 pixels on the longer side.
Pick a noise and its strength
Grain, Color, Soft or Sampled, then the intensity: the share of opaque pixels that change, from 1 to 100 percent.
Gray it, reseed it
Turn the drawing gray before the grain for print and vintage looks, and ask for a new pattern until one suits.
Download the PNG
The PNG keeps the SVG's transparency: grain lands on the drawing only, never on the empty background.
The noise modes
Texture is gentle noise. Soft for paper, Grain for canvas and newsprint, Sampled for watercolor; keep the intensity low.
Grain
Each touched pixel becomes a random gray, from black to white. The classic film and print grain, and the mode to start with.
Color
Each touched pixel becomes a random color. Loud and chaotic; at high intensity it reads as glitch or grunge rather than texture.
Soft
Each touched pixel drifts a little from its own color, up to 25 levels per channel. Texture that keeps the palette intact.
Sampled
Each touched pixel takes the color of another pixel in the picture, so the grain is made only of colors the drawing already has.

Questions and answers
Before you trust the result: what to know about the format, the limits, your data and the tools next to it.
Soft at 8 to 15 percent. The small color drift reads like the fibres of paper, and with grayscale off the artwork keeps its colors.
Canvas is coarser than paper. Grain at 15 to 25 percent suggests the weave without hiding the drawing.
Watercolor paper has an irregular, organic texture. Sampled at 12 to 20 percent varies the picture with its own colors, the way pigment settles in the fibres.
Newsprint shows grain and little color. Grain at 20 to 30 percent with grayscale on recreates it.
Use Soft. It varies each touched pixel a little from its own color instead of replacing it; at 5 to 12 percent it adds texture and leaves the palette intact.
Good printing has a subtle texture: 5 to 10 percent is enough. Higher values suggest cheaper printing; match the texture to the print you are imitating.
As drawn, the output is the size the SVG declares: its width and height, or its viewBox when it has no width and height. Pick 16 to 1024 instead and the longer side becomes that many pixels, with the ratio kept. The SVG is redrawn at that size, not scaled up from a small bitmap, so a 24-pixel icon exported at 1024 is as crisp as the vector.
No. The file is read and drawn by your browser, and the page makes no request with it. You can load the page, go offline and keep working; nothing is stored either, so reload and it is gone.
No. The SVG texture overlay is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.
Nothing. The SVG texture overlay holds your input in the page's memory, so closing or reloading the tab clears it, and it saves nothing in this browser.
Up to 20 MB per file, the limit the tool states under its drop area. A larger file is refused with a plain message instead of being decoded.
No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.
The edit is written as a PNG because PNG stores every pixel exactly, with a full alpha channel, so the result can be edited again without a second round of loss.
No. The browser decodes the image and the tool writes a new file from its pixels, so camera EXIF, GPS position and text chunks in the original are not copied into the result. Keep the original file if you need them.
No. The result has the same width and height in pixels as the source.

The SVG texture overlay is one of 45 in its group. The group's page, /tools/svg, lists them all.
The tool is free. Its interface is built from shadcn.io's own components (Button, Input, Slider and the rest of the registry under /ui), which come in React, Vue, Svelte and Solid. Pro adds the blocks and templates for the product around it.
